Its really hard to compare The Republic and Empire to any one country, yes they have been "inspired" by real life countries but thats it. In my eyes The Empire is Inspired by the British Empire (With heavy WW2 German Uniform influence!), mixed with a warped version of the Old European Knights. The Republic on the other hand is more like a more liberal Roman Republic - before Caeser ofc - mixed with the morally perfect Medieval Knight (You know the ones that rarely exsisted?) The Empire has quite a good reason to be "annoyed" (Understand of the century to avoid the wrath of the Mods!) with the Republic. The two factions are really just as bad as one another but the Empire is less cloak and dagger about it. They announce they are evil and don't care. The Republic shakes the peoples hand one minute then flips them off the next...

Not everyone wants a Sandbox title, If I wanted that Id play EvE hardcore and play it for free. I wouldn't class yourself in the "majority" of players either as there is a reason sandbox MMOs either fail or don't break the bank. (I know EvE is successful and I really enjoy it, but SWG died a really REALLY slow death. No two ways about it, no matter how fun certain parts were)

If by back dated you mean all the super buffs etc then yes. They said the system will do a major check to "Tick all the boxes" you are eligible for. If you mean will you be able to change a established Imperial Agent to a Twi'lek then, no.

This. /Thread

The only thing from the guild summit that I thought "***" was giving non-force classes force choke etc. Even if it is only a token move it is still weird. I personally won't be taking part in the new races as I have 8 characters already but I would have made a Lightside Sith Pureblood Guardian if I'd not already got a level 40 Human Guardian... That is unless I delete my Smuggler and make a Chiss one...

Yea she has the better one liners (When you click them when they have nothing proper to say) of the companions too I've found. Very Minor Kira story spoilers

Don't get me wrong I do still enjoy them but I pick at films & programs way to much. The Best Stormtroopers in the Empire would have had the Carebears and Rebels beat. Also the Emperor said "Legion" which if used right means 10,000 men why aren't all these men stationed round/within speeder distance of the Deflector array. Like I said I still enjoy them but such obvious plot armour irritates me (I know its got to be used but still).

I actually watched Return of the Jedi for about the 8th time last night... been watching all the films again spread out. How the hell did the Empire ever survive, if its best troops are butchered by Angry Carebears and a dozen Rebels? Also side note the plot armour was strong on the Rebel fleet, "Oh noes a full Imperial Fleet backed up by a Super Star Destroyer - which we should have no chance against - Gets beat and its flagship destroyed because the Deflector shield array was on the outside of the hull............ /facepalm. I liked the films better when I couldn't pick at little things like those On Topic. NO TO PLAYABLE EWOKS. I don't care if their planet is found and then forgot about by the time the PT and OT come around (It would be possible think of all the cities that have been lost on our own planet 3000 years after they were build). If they are added, as an Empire player I should get to murder them as much as I did the Sand People on Tatooine.

Vibroswords, though Lightsabers are better, if you disagree your in the wrong place

You forget the part where she really REALLY wants to get it on with a Male Sith. Maybe that should come before or after Drinking Blood I don't know. My Favourite so far over the 8 Classes has been Kira Carsen (and I'm an Empire player mostly now) 1. Her voice actor sounds fit as **** (And after checking on IMDB, I definately "would") 2. She isn't afraid to go against the Jedi Order which suits my Jedi fine (Hes lightside but isn't afraid of a few Un-Jedi-like actions regarding people threatening the Jedi order or the Republic) 3. Sarcasm - to a certain degree - is an attractive trait in a woman to me.

Would you class the Hulk as Fat? Yes he is a cartoon/comic character but still he is "drawn" and as such open to the same debate. No I don't class type 4 as healthly but then I think extreme body builders look retarded. People complaining about things in video games that have no affect what so ever on them sickens me... (And no I don't have any Type 4 Male characters because I think they look stupid)

This... So much this. As average as a game Champions Online is the character creation is great, with Sliders and presets. Like the above Champions online - although it handled gear differently - had many MANY customisible parts to add to your characters and very few had clipping problems (That I noticed) Even if they just added two sliders: Weight & Height i'd be happy as long as we can change our current chars Though my Body Type 4 Female Bounty Hunter would stay as to me she is a perfect char. Nothing about her I would change, Well except with Hindsight I would have rolled Powertech rather than Merc Yea but body type 4 male isn't fat its solid muscle. It just "looks" fat with clothes on, just like body builders look like they have moobs with clothes on even though its muscle.

Type 3 female looks like she's just got back from the Sex-Change Op. There is nothing well rounded about her, Unless your secretly into men or those weird *** body building women (I mean the extreme ones)

I think a lot of Fat SoB's would kill to have muscles like that...

Sorry i'm not actually a big Trekkie (My main experience of it was been forced to watch The Next Generation as a child by my parents) but that picture always makes me laugh Speaking of bad Jedi, how come none of them other than Yoda (Yea I know hes just made off bad***...) could sense all the Jedi dying during Order 66? Also why weren't they in pairs? Obi-wan and Anakin mostly operated in pairs. Also in The Clone Wars - which I haven't watched that much or for a while, so cut me some slack if wrong - Anakin takes a Padawan doesn't he? The Twi-Lek girl forget her name.

A bit overweight? Yea. Obese? Definately not. My main is a Body Type 4 Bounty Hunter and even with all the armour if you look from the side she is still quite thin. The extra weight is a bit on the face, Which makes the face look more attractive in my eyes than Body type 1 or 2, I'm not mentioning body type 3 because it makes the female chars look like they used to be men... A bit on the legs, chest and most of it on the ***. I wouldn't turn down a bird that had the proportions of my BH lol...

Lore Armour will stop Slave Boy outfits been implemented. Lore Armour aside. People need to realise: 1. That most men on the planet are not gay. 2. Its mostly men that play video games. 3. If point 1 & 2 are true then 'most' Male gamers don't want to see Semi-Naked blokes running around. 4. If point 1, 2 & 3 are true, then Slave Girl Outfits = Fine, Slave Boy Outfits (In the same design as Girl Outfits = Not Fine. Its not been homophobic. The first two points are facts, you can't get around it so the last 2 are likely to be more or less true. I personally find the thought or men/women with each other foul, so I don't want to see it personally in a game. Same-Sex Relationships are fine as they happen in "Story Mode" men running around in Slave Girl outfits because its "Cute" is not. You can think i'm small minded I personally don't care, people been unwilling to accept what I believe is just as bad as thinking everyone should just accept Gayness because they've won their minority badge. For the minority of gamers who want SS Relationships I hope you get it, I really do... As long as it won't be rammed down your throat like Dragon Age ... I really REALLY think your percentages are quite honest BS. 50% of Gamers are Gay or Women? Pfft....

Are you crazy? People are willing to pay to see the Phantom Menace in 3D, a film that has been out for years and has nothing new to offer other than pretty pictures that seem closer than they actually are. I'd love to see a Star Wars film done with the graphics that Blur made the trailers, maybe in a few more years when the way to do it is a lot less time/money intensive. With a really good story writer/dialogue writing a film using just graphics like that would be amazing.

Yea I like my curvy size 4 Bounty Hunter, I don't want my character to turn into a Heffer, just because you or anyone else wants a fat bird for a toon. Not to say I would be against having a fat female option but make it another body type, so it doesn't affect other people

Yea theres a funny Star Trek pic somewhere on the net with a picture of some of the away party. Its something like: "Kirk, Spock, Scotty and Ensign Hawkins beam down to a planet. Guess who's not coming home" Damn those writers made deaths predictable

Don't the Sith end up ruling again in the EU after the films? (I haven't read the EU this is just what I've gleaned from here.)

Why the Sarcasm? I only stated I enjoyed these threads. Plus like has been mentioned 40K is so much more over the top than Star Wars so the Emperor is going to faceroll anything in Star Wars. Yea Dragonball Z is more "Unreal" than 40k... "Yes i've achieved the highest power I can....... Until the Next Uber Badguy needs to be beat then I'll just out level him! Because I can spend what seems like years in a trainstation-like building in the sky and it only be 5 minutes" (I literally watched DBZ like 11-12 years ago so if anything has changed since then I neither know or care about it lol) And anyway in the 36 minutes and 29 seconds it takes Goku to say Kamahamaha (Sp?) the Emperor would have been able to have a s***, Shower and a shave, eat his breakfast, and slip into armour only the gods could hope to damage and crush Goku. The Emperors downfall would be allowing Goku to level up, oh god forbid don't let him level up because he can you know........... Also all the Dune comments are really making me want to get hold of that film... somehow. damn i loved that film

Hmmm the fact that they don't seem to give a f*** about pupils feelings. Anakin is strong in the force but he misses his mother, I'm sure someone could have made it so his mother was safe - even if he wasn't allowed to live with her - might have made him feel better than "Yea Anakin your really powerful but forget your mother we can't be bothered to do a favour for our strongest ever pupil, even though we could" it would have gone along way to know that his mother was safe on Alderaan or Coruscant. Or When he mentioned about the nightmares considering that he was right the last time he had them, why didn't someone do a dark-force check? or something. Also why were the Jedi all scattered around the Galaxy as they were? Really the Temple on Coruscant has a few Masters and Younglings - oh wait I can't forget the one Teenage Jedi that kicks the s*** outta the clones outside the Temple before dying - in the middle of a major war? I'd be expecting a response something like the Sith intro for SWTOR in the Main Jedi Temple in the Galaxy. Or Anakin... Anakin, Anakin, Anakin... Mace Windu, one of the guys you seem to be trying so hard to gain the trust of tells you he'll trust you if what you say is right. Yea Palpatine said he could - in not as many words but still - save Padme. Personally i'd be wondering how this old fart knows what i'm dreaming. But yea he then grasses on Palpatine to Mace Windu who in true Samuel L. Jackson style owns face, but then changes his mind and goes there and ends up saving then submitting to a Dark Lord of the Sith... W-T-F. Anakin basically goes from been Good (But still been prone to anger) in the Second film, to I'm going to Kill Kids and strangle my beloved wife with the force, then try to kill the only person who's trusted me fully. Nice Writing there George! Give yourself a pat on the back. It would have been more realistic if Anakin had said "Listen Palp, I know she was alive when I left her, Yea I may have left the planet with only 55% of my body mass but I ain't no fool" Before Force B****slapping Palpatine and having a tantrum. Lastly this ain't about Jedi but a pet peave of mine with the Prequels (Which believe it or not I enjoyed lol) where the hell was the Republic Army before the clones? No Organisation would get as powerful as the Republic without some form of Military. The only non Clone forces we see are the Organa forces onboard the Senators ship.

My chars are as such: 47 Mercenary 40 Guardian 27 Juggernaut (My Twink Char) 19 Operative 19 Assassin 19 Vanguard 19 Sage 5 Smuggler (Going to be Gunslinger) I too feel as though i'm jumping between characters too much but you just need to focus and think "Which character do I not only enjoy, but also feel as though your doing well on" I did this with my Merc got a guild (Which also helped to make me gravitate towards that char more often) and advanced it quicker.

Hmmm It doesn't have to be Japanese. If your going for a Japanese style on all the chars you make then yea but you might need to think of something that fits more than one style if not.
